Yeah, I enjoyed your article and I linked back to it in the text, but perhaps I could have been clearer that I was referencing your work!
I think you’re right. I also think it’s a weakness in EA that we have to or have chosen to couch outreach to Republicans/US conservatives in such careful terms. I think we should in general just be welcome aboard to most people!
There are some issues where the ideological divide seems pretty stark. For instance, I don’t know if a majority of EAs support literal open borders but I’d be surprised if support for massive increases in immigration to developed countries wasn’t a majority position among EAs. That’s a big gap between EAs and the modal Republican.
Related points I made a while ago.

Sorry my bad I didn’t see your reference!
